Setting up an incorporation
Previously, landowners seeking to form an incorporation
need to show that owners with not less than 15 percent of
shares in the Māori land consented to the proposal.
If an owner of Māori freehold land with many owners has paid more than their share of water services charges, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a ‘charging order’ under section 99 to recover the excess amount paid.
Chief Judge Dr Caren Fox expressed her excitement sharing this resource, stating that it captures a wealth of knowledge about the law relevant to the Court and its jurisdiction.
Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.
There are new requirements on trustees to keep and share certain
information.
Every trustee must keep a copy of the trust deed (trust order) and
any variations made to it.

However, because I became a Judge only a matter of weeks ago, I do not yet have many stories to share with you about my new job. Unfortunately, that means part of this speech will have to be about me, so I also want to talk about my time here at this whare wananga and some personal learnings through my career that I hope will be useful as you all embark on yours.
In your application, you’ll need to provide:
evidence that those persons holding at least 10% of the shares in the incorporation seek an investigation or
evidence that a special resolution was passed at a general meeting of the shareholders seeking an investigation
the grounds upon which an investigation is sought, and
any matters that should be brought to the immediate attention of a judge.
It is a great honour for me but what makes it so special is being able to share it with all of you so thank you. I also once again want to thank Ngāti Whakaue and Te Arawa whānui for the privilege of having this occasion in this beautiful, esteemed house.
